Immunohistochemical staining of these lesions for VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 expression was performed.Results: A total of 25 patients were identified with cavernous malformations (n=15) and lymphatic malformations (n=10). Ten specimens (7 cavernous malformations, 3 lymphatic malformations) underwent further immunohistochemical analysis. Six of 7 cavernous malformations and one of 3 lymphatic malformations stained positive for VEGFR1 and VEGFR2.Conclusions: Both cavernous malformations and lymphatic malformations appear to express VEGFR with varying frequency. Additional studies are needed to better characterize the pathogenesis of these lesions, nature of VEGFR expression, and potential efficacy of anti-VEGF treatment.","PeriodicalId":93347,"journal":{"name":"Ophthalmology and vision care","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8297820/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39221614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
